Investors lose confidence in banks

In the wake of the financial crisis, higher earners have become more suspicious of banks. This is confirmed by the current German Wealth Monitor (GWM) – a study that has been conducted by the Frankfurt BrandControl institute since 2006 twice a year among 1,000 top German earners. In addition to investment behavior and media usage, attitudes toward banks and trust in financial institutions are examined in particular.

The use of government bailouts by troubled banks

According to GWM, the use of government bailouts by troubled banks is, in principle, viewed positively by top earners and considered as a helpful means of overcoming the financial crisis more quickly. On the other hand, this does not promote reputation and customer confidence.

According to BrandControl, now has to credibly communicate to their customers that the security of the investment is top priority. They must identify ways in which they want to hedge against similar developments and risks in the future. Only then will banks be able to regain the trust of their investors.
